Artificial Intelligence is rapidly reshaping the future of practice—and social work must be part of the conversation.

From streamlining administrative tasks to supporting education, research, and client resource development, AI offers exciting possibilities for the profession. But with that potential comes important ethical questions around bias, privacy, equity, and responsible use.

As AI continues to evolve, social workers must stay informed and engage with emerging technologies through the lens of the NASW Code of Ethics—balancing innovation with critical thinking, curiosity, and caution.

The future of social work will be shaped not just by those who use AI, but by those who help guide how it is used responsibly.
